drinking use only. you could have prepackaged sandwiches but no microwave and restrictions that people thought were ridiculous, and i think over time the rus fraigz was apparent and scott wiener introduced legislation that took more than a year to go through the process. i believe it started under a previous supervisor and a year and a half that supervisor wiener worked on it. it went into effect in may of this year and took the retail coffee shops and considered them to be limited restaurants and up zoning of those uses and allowed food preparation in those uses, and again in 2007, and again in 2009 had approved permits for retail coffee at this location. i know that the jurisdiction requester has stated concerns they might not have been abiding by the requirements and preraring food during that time. i can't find complaints in records related to that or in department of building inspection so with that they're retail coffee under the planning code. now they're seeking to add food with the current zoni
